Tom: C C C F F C C G G C C F F C G C C [Verse 1] C I know a guy that's got a lot to lose. F He's a pretty nice fellow but he's kind of confused. C He's got muscles in his head that ain't never been used. G Thinks he own half of this town. C Starts drinking heavy, gets a big red nose. F Beats his old lady with a rubber hose, C then he takes her out to dinner and buys her new clothes. G C That's the way that the world goes 'round. [Chorus] C That's the way that the world goes 'round. F You're up one day and the next you're down. C It's half an inch of water and you think you're gonna drown. G C That's the way that the world goes 'round. [Verse 2] C I was sitting in the bathtub counting my toes, F when the radiator broke, water all froze. C I got stuck in the ice without my clothes, G naked as the eyes of a clown. C I was crying ice cubes hoping I'd croak, F when the sun come through the window, the ice all broke. C I stood up and laughed thought it was a joke G C That's the way that the world goes 'round. [Chorus] C That's the way that the world goes 'round. F You're up one day and the next you're down. C It's half an inch of water and you think you're gonna drown. G C That's the way that the world goes 'round. [Chorus] C That's the way that the world goes 'round. F You're up one day and the next you're down. C It's half an inch of water and you think you're gonna drown. G C That's the way that the world goes 'round. [Chorus] C That's the way that the world goes 'round. F You're up one day and the next you're down. C It's half an inch of water and you think you're gonna drown. G C That's the way that the world goes 'round. [Outro] G C That's the way that the world goes 'round G C C That's the way that the world........ goes 'round
